Hi Ted, Thanks for your thoughts on this . Looks like the first method you've suggested is the better option.
Question: I am a bit unclear about using the Drawing API embedded into SWF Icons. Are you suggesting to have code inside of the SWF that would render the lines according to it's position in the tree? Am I understanding this correctly.
